Grandparent gifts sit in a different category from friend gifts. They should feel heirloom-quality, have a story, and ideally become part of family memory. Hand-knit pieces are ideal because they can be passed between siblings and kept as keepsakes.

A Cream Baby Cardigan

The classic grandparent gift. Neutral, timeless, hand-knit. Fits for 12+ months and then goes in a keepsake box. Browse cardigans →

A Gift Set With a Handwritten Note

A beanie + booties set with a handwritten card from grandma or grandpa. Parents often keep the card inside the gift box forever.

A Hand-Knit Blanket

Chunky cream knit throw. Doubles as a pram blanket and, when the baby is older, a toddler cuddle blanket. Lives on the couch.

A Character Beanie for the Photos

Frog or pom-pom character beanies are grandparent-gold — babies wearing them end up in every family photo for months.

The bottom line

Grandparent gifts should have a story and last a decade. Hand-knit is the natural fit.
